WHAT Do YOU INTEND
TO Do,
AND
WHAT Do YOU HOPE TO MAKE
OF YOURSELF q?

The GLOBE, as a me-
dunn Of communication
between the people, feels
that it will be doing a good
work in placing its col
umns at the disposal of the
masses of men, women and
children. who want to talk
about themselves, and
who are ready to tell Of
their aims and ambitions
for the benefit Of others.
With this end in view a de-
partment will be inaugu-
rated in the GLOBE, in
which the people-o1 high
or low degree-can talk to
each and about each other.
The GLOBE invites the
general public to send in
briefletters for this depart
ment outlining their aims
in life-what they are am
EitiOus to do and to make
Of themselves. There
should be no lack Of frank
ness in these letters. Let
each one give his or her
views in a spirit Of candor.
telling the story without
coloring or attempt at ef-
fect, and this department
can be made one OF great
interest and benefit. It
will be better if name, age
and residence are given,
but this is not absolutely
necessary. Old men and
women, young ladies and
gentlemen, little boys and
girls, married people and
single people, capitalists
and laborers, anybody and
everybody all are cor
daily invited to write a
letter and tell about their
aim in life. Address

A Most Worthless One.
Morris Tribune.

The legislature which has just closed its
work has been most worthless one There
are many of it's members who are too stupid
and ignorant to be of any public service in
any capacity. Others have proven them
selves to be time-serving demagogues who
have struggled for appearances and popular
ity rather than practical results. Those who
are intelligent and honest and who have been
laboring for the best interests of the whole
state seem to have been in the minority and
have worked at a great disadvantage. A few
wise measures have been passed, but on the
whole it would have been better had this leg
islature never existed

Good Men Gone Wrong.

Very little has been done during this term
except for cooperative benefit of private in
terests. Sharpers by working on the cupdity
of few cranks. divided the peoples forces
so that if one worked for a measure to benefit
the masses. others who should have had
brains enough to help, and had been sent
there for that purpose, would work against it
and help rob, rule and ruin their constitu-
ents. We had good men who worKed like
beavers, but were handcuffed by pretended
friends who were bought or cajoed into de-
feating every measure they were sent there
to work for. Such nine-pins will be remem-
bered, held accountable for it and buried be-

But spare the editor.

THE QUESTION ANSWERED.

Brightly was the moon inclining
Ger her hCneysuckled door;
Sweet was night-in silver shining:
Yet she yearned for something more.
Perfumes were her senses sleeping
In faint yet subtle tide;
Fragrant breath of roses sleeping
Left her still dissatisfied.
Mid the lilacs, soft lamenting,
Grieved the plaintive nightingale:
Yet she coldly, half resenting.
Listened listless to his tale.
Though night such peace possessing
Should all captiousness disarm,
Yet she found herself confessing
Nature somehow failed TO charm.
Did the moon smile down too brightly?
Love-bird weary with his trill?
Roses cense the air too slightly?
What-O! what-was lacking still?
AS she pondered thus in sadness,
Stole her lover from the door,
Clasped her to his heart III gaduess.
Then the night lacked nothing more.
